Forest Coach Lines rebrands to CDC NSW

New South Wales Mid North Coast and North West Slopes bus operator, Forest Coach Lines, owned and operated by ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia Pty Ltd (CDC), has rebranded to CDC NSW, marking another significant step in the company’s journey of growth and unification.

Forest Coach Lines website has been consolidated into the CDC NSW website, which now serves as the single digital hub for CDC’s urban, school and charter bus services throughout New South Wales.

The rollout of CDC’s distinctive orange and blue bus branding commenced with the replacement of logos on all Forest Coach Lines buses from mid-2025. This rebranding and digital consolidation align with CDC’s broader national strategy, following successful updates in Queensland, Greater Canberra, and the Northern Territory.

A trusted regional operator since 1930, Forest Coach Lines became part of the CDC network in August 2018. This evolution underlines CDC’s commitment to creating a cohesive, customer-focused brand across its operations.

CDC Regional NSW General Manager Andrew Fogg emphasised the benefits of the brand transition and digital integration.

“This rebrand represents more than a new name − it reflects our commitment to uniting operations across the region while maintaining strong relationships and reliable services our customers know and trust.
“By consolidating the Forest Coach Lines website into CDC NSW’s platform, we are making it easier for our customers to find the information they need, whether it’s school bus timetables, urban routes, or charter services.

“We’re proud to embark on this new chapter as CDC NSW, confident it will enhance the experience for our customers,” Mr Fogg said.

The CDC NSW website offers a modern, easy-to-navigate interface designed to simplify access to vital transport information. From 1 September 2025, visitors to the former Forest Coach Lines website will be redirected to the CDC NSW website, ensuring seamless access to services and information.

Local operations include CDC NSW depots in Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, Woolgoolga, Narrabri and Wee Waa. Popular Mid North Coast northern beaches service, Woopi Connect On Demand also operates from CDC’s Woolgoolga depot.
